Mémé Café — Restaurant in Waterloo

We went there to celebrate an anniversary. We had chosen the surprise menu and were excited about it. Night started well as entering the place, although very small, had a nice environment. Welcome by the waiter who was from Quebec was great. We sat, ordered and just waited while tasting the excellent bread with tapenade. Starters took a bit long wait and were rather spicy (too much pepper). We had a child with us and they did not offered an alternative for him which we found weird. Then, the main dish which took too long (45 min). Quality was good but, again, for the child was too pepper flavoured. He could not eat it. After finishing, due to the slow service, it was too late for dessert and we offered not to have it for ease of purpose. The bill came and the full menu was charged. I told them that we deliberately skipped dessert so that they could close but if they were to charge the complete menu, then we would take the dessert. We were told that only 5 desserts rested (we were 6). We asked for them, we finished, asked for the bill and, again, no reduction for the missing dessert. I must add that despite of the spicy food, quality was good. Our great thanks to the waiter that despite all, took care of us with a smile. Would like to share our dissatisfaction with the cook that seemed to be above circumstances and kept a selfish attitude towards clients. We start dinner at 2130 and finished at 0030 ( were 5 adults and one child). Place not recommended for children. Cook abused of pepper and he lacked of tact. We could clearly overhear that he was nos ready to have commercial token with us because of leaving one of us without dessert. Sorry for the waiter that was...

A neat, little Restaurant in Brussels. I first discovered this Gem when I left Café Floreo. They have some seats outside which made the stay even more pleasant. I don’t know whether they do have a Menu, but since the Owner/Chef/Waiter made pretty good suggestions I didn’t need it. As a Starter I had a plate with Hummus made from Lentils, Dark Olivepaste, some Ham (presumably San Daniele), Mozzarella with Tomatoes and some Arugula as garnish. Before that they put some delicious Bread with Olivepaste and Oliveoil on the Table. For the Main Course they suggested Tagliatelle Nero with Gambas. I had a Glass of Rosé to go with it. Everything was excellent! The Staff was very friendly and I am sure I’ll be back again! Thank you for the nice...

Really exceptional : only two guys take care of the place : one cook, one waiter. They improvise menus depending on arrivals at the market and adapt to clients' needs. They just simply redefine what a restaurant should have always been : someone who deliver great tailor made cuisine to people. Also, just these two guys taking care of the place, we can hardly imagine the amount of work. Then you discuss with them and hear that the own a second restaurant for lunch time. Oh yes and they will open another place for aperitifs, antipasti, etc... It's a great inspiring lesson of humility to see people putting so much efforts and passion in their work, genuinely taking care of the customers to deliver exceptional...
